70cl | 45% abv

Don Amado Mezcal Reposado - An homage to the popular history of Oaxacan clay-pot mezcal aged in brandy barrels, Don Amado Reposado uses exhausted brandy barrels from Pedro Domecq to create a nostalgic flavor of earthen-smoked maguey with the soft caramel and butterscotch notes of American white oak.

Familiar Mexican flavors of roasted corn slathered in butter, hints of vanilla and cinnamon, tropical fruit and dried chilies are balanced with a moderate amount of smoke leading into barrel notes of a satisfying, slightly spicy vanilla-driven extended finish.

Aroma: Roasted corn, butter, vanilla, cinnamon, tropical fruit, dried chilies

Palate: Caramel, white pepper, vanilla, moderate smoke

Finish: Spicy vanilla-driven extended finish.

Authenticity - The Arellanes family has been crafting one of the region's most celebrated mezcals since the late 1700s

Quality - Made from earthen roasted maguey hearts which after crushing are fermented together with their piña fibers for a rich maguey character.

Sustainability - Sustainably grown & re-planted farmed & wild agave is used in this range of mezcal, followed by natural fermentation with airborne yeast and a slow double-distillation in ceramic pot stills.
